    They should arrest all the CEO's of companies making land mines and make them walk blindfolded through a minefield. Our world land mine problem could be quickly solved.

    Meanwhile, the mongoose is doing a great job.

    Good luck getting past all those land mines. Lol also good luck making the CEOs do that. They're probably people like the president of china and russia.
